Didn't OP mention he had an oil analysis done with no issues reported??

That open heopenner rocker cover really did not have a lot of oil on it anywhere.

Are these stock Merc lifters? Or Johnson's?

Hello

The oil analys showed nothing alarming.

Regarding the oil on the rocker arms, it was a prolonged shutdown of several months,
and only the starter motor had been running for a few turns.

I'm thinking of installing a new Melling 10778 oil pump.

The lifters must have been cheap, with the part number engraved on them,
I couldn't identify anything !!

The news ones will be Johnson with the tie bar.

Thanks
